CPPs – efficiently propelling vessels with varying propulsion demands

Benefit from a versatile and high-efficiency propeller range: Our standard blade/hub materials are Ni-Al-bronze, with stainless steel offered as an option. For special demands, our propellers are ice-strengthened, designed, and tailored to meet specific class regulations up to the highest polar ice classes. Shaft line systems with tail shafts, intermediate shafts, and bearings are customized for a wide range of applications, and, for example, stern tube lube and sealing systems based on various types of oil, biodegradable oils or water.

Characteristics

MAN Alpha CP propellers are ideal for ships with varying operational modes and propulsion patterns ranging from dynamic maneuvering and bollard pull conditions to economical partial-load service and full-speed steaming. Our CPPs are versatile propulsors, which meet the challenges of many different applications – and deliver excellent propulsion performance and efficiency with minimal vibration and noise levels.

Benefits

  • Fuel savings and reduced emission levels: High propulsive efficiency equals low fuel consumption and reduced exhaust gas emissions
  • Propulsion flexibility and highest overall efficiency: Cutting-edge hydrodynamic blade designs as the basis for top propulsion performance and versatility in operating profiles
  • High comfort for passengers, crew and cargo: Maximized propeller efficiency with respect to controlled cavitation, pressure pulses, and noise
  • Low wear rates and very long lifetime: Ensured by robust and reliable materials and components – designed with ample margins of strength

 

An optimal propeller for any application

Flexibility for efficiently covering all propulsion power requirements of MAN’s engine programs – and for CPPs in particular, the focus is the shaft power range up to 40 MW.
